Try Bumble, try Tinder, try Plenty of Fish
Reach for the crumbs of someone else’s desperation, and avoid your own
Follow the trail left by someone else’s heartbreak, and careful to cover yours
Leave the baggage in the bathtub
And search the bed for landmines
Stand for one night, and tie the no-strings around your wrists
Give away a piece of yourself to a stranger, and come away unsatisfied
Play your own body like a violin
Conduct the orchestra of lust
And retune your heartstrings when the pegs loosen
Find yourself in the embrace of someone else’s arms
Define your worth by their appraisal, and forget your own value
Give up your autonomy for the sake of the drugged high of love
Stab yourself in the heart
Give them the tools of your own destruction
And keep trying for love as the world burns around you
